S'mores Dip

I love making s’mores. I went through a phase of making s’mores at home in the microwave probably once a week for a while. I have wanted to make a s’mores dip for quite sometime, but it makes a lot, so I needed a group to make it for. So for Christmas with the Owens, I made it. It was quite delicious and actually easy to reheat.

Crockpot Candy

So I first found out about crockpot candy many, many years ago at my last job. One of the admins brought it in one holiday, and I fell it love with it. I know it sounds crazy, but it was great. It is super easy to make, and it is a great holiday treat.

Air Fryer Donut Holes

I made this donut holes early during the pandemic for Melody. I actually did it because I went to Dunkin’ Donuts and they didn’t have any powdered donuts (regular or munchkin). I had this recipe tucked away for a while, so it was the perfect opportunity to use it.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

As I have mentioned many times, Melody loves chocolate chip cookies, but she hates any I ever make. So anytime I see a new, good looking recipe to try, I try it. These were by far my favorite of all that I have made. They are HUGE. But Melody still prefers Chips Ahoy!

Air Fryer Okra

We are loving our air fryer. One of our favorite fried things (or at least mine) is fried okra. But frying it in grease leaves the house stinky. When doing the recipe below, I actually tried two methods. I find this recipe is about as close as I can get to real fried okra.

Oreo Cheesecake

I love that this cheesecake is a no bake recipe, and in most cases, I usually have all of the ingredients on hand. So that means this is a super easy dessert I can whip up on whim if needed!

Air Fryer Donuts

These donuts are really delicious and semi-healthy using the air fryer. We tried a few flavors for our first attempt, but I will tell you that the cinnamon sugar were by far the best! And we even fried up the donut holes too!

Disney Churros

Back in April, not long after the pandemic began, Disney released their infamous churro recipe. We decided to make them at home one afternoon, and they were a hit. They did not look anything like the ones I get at Disney, but they were still delicious. We also had them in a few different ways. Check it out below.

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

Early on during quarantine, not all groceries were easy to come by doing grocery pick up exclusively. So I got creative and made a lot of new recipes using what we had. One was homemade cinnamon rolls using crescent rolls. They turned out super delicious and are a great alternative to store bought cinnamon rolls. My only hate on these is that the brown sugar mixture can really harden after the cinnamon rolls sit for a while. But they are still super tasty!

Honey Bun Cake

So this is one of those recipes I have seen floating around facebook for some time. I actually bought all the ingredients with the thought I would make it for Emily and Justin during a game night. But then the Corona Virus hit, and we haven’t seen then in well over a month. So I gave up and made it for Brad and me. It is really good, but it does make a LOT. So we wasted probably half of it.

Homemade Ice Cream

We love good homemade ice cream, and when we were given an electric automatic ice cream maker as a wedding present we were thrilled. This is so much easier than rock salt and all that other fuss. You simply freeze the insert overnight, then it’s ready to go. This recipe is also super easy and inexpensive. Even Melody loved it, and she is picky about homemade desserts!

Microwave Smores

We love making Smores, but making them outside isn’t really the best option. So we make them in the microwave. It’s super easy, not messy, and doesn’t require any fire, ha. The fire is Melody’s favorite part, but we just save that for camping!
